In a statement, al-Wefaq expressed its concern on the citizen Rida al-Ghasra who was arrested on Friday.
Al-Wefaq’s Human Rights facility clarified that al-Ghasra was arrested in an alarming manner; In Bani Jamra, he was surprised by civilian and security cars surrounding him, and al-Ghasra was witnessed on the ground surrounded by security forces.

Witnesses further reported that he had been beaten brutally and moved to an unknown place. For its part, Islamic al-Wafaa Movement warned that the young man’s life is in danger.

“The regime had kidnapped al-Ghasra in an intelligence ambush,” the Movement stated, stressing that al-Ghasra was tortured because he backed his people’s cause.

The Movement further called for saving al-Ghasra from brutal distress.

Al-Ghasra’s family, however, called on all local and international legal figures and organizations to quickly intervene to save Rida, fearing that the regime forces would kill him.

In a separate case, the court also reduced to six months a seven-year jail term given to a police officer in January for killing a protester.

The officer was accused of beating an anti-regime demonstrator to death in 2011.
